[Clinical use of quantitative DNA pathologic examination in eye neoplasms].

Quantitative DNA pathologic examination is an important content of quantitative pathology, which is to use cytochemistry quantitative analytical technique for quantitative analysis of patho-histological structure and intra-cellular DNA level. Quantitative determination of DNA in tumor cells as an objective quantitative index reflecting biological behavior of tumor cells and has an important significance for distinguishing precancerous lesions, borderline tumors, benign and malignant tumors; and for estimating the malignant degree and prognosis. This review introduces the study about DNA quantitative analysis used in clinical pathology of eye neoplasms.

POLYOMA VIRUS GENETIC MATERIAL IN A VIRUS-FREE POLYOMA-INDUCED TUMOR.

The DNA-agar technique for homology studies was used to investigate of the viral genetic material. Complemetary found between the polyoma DNA and the DNA of several mammalian species. The increased complementarity of the polyoma DNA to the DNA of polyoma-induced tumor reflects an increased frequency of common poly-nucleotide sequences in the tumor DNA.

Persistent reduction of indigenous DNA modification (I-compound) levels in liver DNA from male Fischer rats fed choline-devoid diet and in DNA of resulting neoplasms.

Reduced levels of putative indigenous DNA modifications (I-compounds) in liver DNA of male Fischer 344 rats fed a hepatocarcinogenic choline-devoid (CD) diet for up to 7 mo have been previously reported. To investigate the persistence of this effect and possible relationships between I-compounds and hepatocarcinogenesis, liver DNA modifications of tumor-free male rats fed a CD diet for 3, 6, 9, or 12 mo, followed by a choline-supplemented (CS) diet to 16 mo, were compared with those in rats fed exclusively the CD or CS diet for 16 mo by a 32P-postlabeling assay. In addition, DNA from nontumorous and tumorous tissues of rats fed the CD diet similarly for 12 or 16 mo was analyzed. It was found that total I-compound levels in male rats consecutively fed CD and CS diets for various lengths of time were similar to those in rats fed the CD diet only and significantly lower than those in rats fed the CS diet only. I-compound levels of nontumorous regions from tumor-bearing livers were 73% of those in tumor-free livers from the same treatment group. I-compound levels were further reduced, some to undetectable levels, in tumor tissues and exhibited an inverse relationship with tumor incidence. The patterns and levels of I-compounds in liver DNA of CD diet-fed female rats, which were not susceptible to CD diet-induced hepatocarcinogenesis, on the other hand, were not significantly different from those of controls. Thus, reduction of I-compound levels by feeding a CD diet lasted for many months after changing from the CD to the CS diet. Whether this persistent DNA alteration contributes to carcinogenesis remains to be determined.

Role of DNA measurements of head and neck tumors.

The measurement of DNA ploidy has been used as a tool to try to determine the prognosis of many neoplasms. DNA ploidy can be determined by flow cytometry or image analysis of a tumor. In squamous carcinomas of the head and neck, a poorer prognosis has been associated with nondiploid tumors. Similar results have been obtained from studies of salivary gland neoplasms. The role of DNA ploidy as a provider of independent information has yet to be determined. With rarer head and neck tumors, measurement of tumor ploidy has yet to be established as a valuable adjunct to routine light microscopic study.
